Will you maintain a connection to CMU? If so, what will you continue doing and at what percent of effort?

Didn't realize that. Thanks for the info!

Moodle is an open-source LMS that can be self-hosted. https://moodle.org/

They did: https://huggingface.co/collections/ibm-granite/granite-embed... 311M and 97M versions.

Yes, but they function as sister companies right now rather than one company.

Agreed. The ARM AGI CPU supports a newer version of the vectorized instructions and has matrix math extensions that the AmpereOne M doesn’t. Also has almost twice the memory bandwi…

I own one of these systems. My interpretation is the Ampere systems are targeted at lower cost scale out. The Ampere Altra CPUs are limited to DDR4. The raw single core performance…

Since you are very focused on specific Nvidia hardware, I wonder if Nvidia would either buy you out to benefit from your tech or implement their own version without your involvemen…

I used to think of D as the same category as C# and Java, but I realized that it has two important differences. (I am much more experienced with Java/JVM than C#/.Net, so this may …

The ACM Recommender Systems conference is one of the leading venues in the field. You might check out what papers were accepted for the 2024 and 2025 conferences: https://recsys.ac…

This seems like a great way to group semantically-related statements, reduce variable leakage, and reduce the potential to silently introduce additional dependencies on variables. …

They are analyzing models trained on classification tasks. At the end of the day, classification is about (a) engineering features that separate the classes and (b) finding a way t…

Time to fork and bring back removed features. :). An advantage of it being AGPL licensed.

Maybe two different things here: SBCs that run Linux versus microcontrollers (MCUs). MCUs are lower power, have less overhead, and can perform hard real-time tasks. Most of what Ar…

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but it reminds me of the kernel trick. The distances between the training samples and a target sample are computed, the distances are s…

I really wish you guys would change the name since the product has moved so far away from the goals and concepts in the original publication. :). I love the product and what you ar…

This isn’t BTRFS

Thanks! I’ll take a look at quadlet. I find that I tend to package one-off tasks as containers as well. For example, create database tables and users. Compose supports these sort o…

Ok one more to add that is a kind-of an abuse of containers: Some compute cluster solutions (like those used for HPC) are using containers to manage software installations on the c…

One of the goals of containers are to unify the development and deployment environments. I hate developing and testing code in containers, so I develop and test code outside them a…

Good write up. The only real bias I can detect is that the author seems to conflate their (lack of) familiarity with ease of use. I bet if they spent a few months using DuckDB and …

The Meta post is particularly interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I think the title is misleading. This isn't really about either language in production environments. As other commenters mentioned, a post about production would cover topics like …
